Related, Casey Johnston posted an excerpt from her book about power lifting--it focuses on when she first started:
I hated and resented the self-satisfied “you’ll understand someday” tone of these pieces. It was more than just the smugness; even if these stories challenged some of the values about the hard work of hotness, the framing still capitulated to the game....But it wasn’t just her post that grabbed me. The response to it had been overwhelming. People showered her with compliments on her strength progress and willingness to give strength training a shot in the first place. Not a few people complimented her progress photos. “I don’t lift to be hot,” she replied. “I lift to be strong.” I rolled my eyes. Liar.
Finally, speaking of exercise, I recently switchewd from a blender bottle to a Helimix 2.0--works great.
